about II O'Clock q large party of maskst
men In boats boarded Colbert's scow, or
dered the occupants, Miller, Murry ant
Russ, at the point Of q pistol, to dres'
themselves, and then set hre to the scow.
Russ was taken away in one Of the swarm
of fishing boats and taken over to Mark
hams fish traps and forced 10 cut the traps
away. He was then takensto Graham
Brothers scow, of Sand island and lsf
there. tst

The leet OF boats continued up the
river, cutting and destroying craft in
their way. Everything in the shape OF
fish traps was destroyed up as far as Sea-
borough hill.
After that the men disbanded,-
fishing boats engaged In the work. The
men we're under leader and obeyed his
orders implicitly. Further. trouble and
bloodshed Is feared.
This probably ends the attempt of the
capitalists 10 drive the fishermen of the
Columbia by use Of traps and Chinese

ILwAco, W. T., May 20.-The fishery
feud has resulted in ,the killing Of one
man and the serious wounding of another
In the streets OF Ilwaco.
Last night A. 4. King, Al Green and
Archie Ross, amateur Pinkertons, went
out TO watch lot of web, newly tarred
and drying ON the Hat.
In the darkness they saw the dim outline
Of two men.
They ordered the intruders to halt, but
they hed
King. Ross and Green followed, when
suddenly, from several directions out Of
the darkness, came the reports of several
shotguns.
King fell wounded in the neck and wrist.
I Ross fell pierced by six balls.
He fingered in great agony and died at
= o'clock this morning.
Green escaped unhurt.

Another attack Is feared tonight.
An organization is preparing TO meet
the marauders.
II is thought some of them reside in
Ilwaco.
One house Is under espionage.
ASTORIA, May ?5.-News received to-day
changes the entire phase of the tragedy.
The guards had been placed to watch
the webs by the owners.
These guards were the men whom Ross,
Green and King saw. II was by these
guards that the shots we're fred that killed
Ross and wounded King.
II appears from this that each party Of
Pinkertons mistook the other for ma
rauders.
The whole thing isa dreadful" mistake,

CHICAGO, May %, 1887.
HASKELL,
r Labor ENQUIRER.
- AND BsoTHER:-I saw in re-
,our paper from the Denver Re-
.oao that M. W. Powderly, among his
wers to some Of the questions pro-
pnded by you, to-wit:
Why did you order of the eight-hour
Ike at Chicago" etc., said in effect that
not order 1t of, and that it was
ost, etc. / also saw that he de-
intention of,stopping here on
lome for the purpose of 'cram-
sBuchanan's lies down his throat "
Now, N. W. Powderly did order, over
awn signature, the men back to work,
and ordered them, too, on pain of having
t,eir charters taken away.
Let me be plain:
~ NJ. w. Powderly said, as is reported,
th Q did not order the Stock Yards
't' on, he Is a deliberate liar.
Is that plain enoughs
When that strike was on, with every
prospect in the world of winning, an order
sent from Powderly, in long hand mot
cipher) was resolved by Tom Barry to the
effect that he was to order the men to go
to work.. II they refused he was to take
their charters.
1t being the general thing to send COM
munications of that kind in cipher, and
thoroughly astounded at the character
under the very favorable circumstances
then existant) of the order, the strike
committee sent reply asking duplicate
in cipher.
The answer in cipher came: "The order
is genuine and must be obeyed."
Mr.. Powderly knows how what order
was received. His confidential friends in
the order here have doubtless told him.
Let him come here, and there are enough,
Knights who have not forgotten that order
to make it very interesting to him for a
time.
Why did he not stop here? q.
Because Buck" is herey
Why did he go to Colorado when he
knew Buchanan was heres
There are thousands of Knights here
who would give dollar apiece to witness
Powderly ''cramming Joe Buchanan's lies
down his throat"
And they would give it, knowing the
character of the two men, in the hope and
knowledge that before the show was over,
Buck" would manage to jam few of
POwderly's prevarications down his thorax.
Let NJ. w. PowderIy come to Chicago,
by all means.
We have few questions, and want to
see him lawful bad"

The Growth Of New York.

On the basis Of the number Of names I'm
the new city directory the population Of
New York, from the southern boundary Of
Ionkcrs To the Battery, is not less than
100000. The population Of Brooklyn
Is probably over $50 600, and, taking into
account other communities Immediately
dependent on and geographically united to
the port OF New York, the present popula-
ton OF the metropolitan district is more
than 1000, 900 At the present moment
the population Of the area known as the
registration district OF London is about
400 600, so that there Is long interval
to be covered before we can begin 10 rival
the righteousness Of the great English
province in brick and mortar
But If New York keeps up its acceler-
hted rate OF growth the difference before
another generation is over may be wiped
out London is growing at the rate Of
oO, OCO year, while New York's growth
is about 60, 900. But in the ten wears be-
tween 1870 and 1880 the average annual
addition To our city population was less
than 2IOOO, so that we have already more
than doubled the annual increment OF the
decade preceding last census, and have for
the last six years established an average of
DC, 900. This kind of geometrical pro-
gression has only TO be maintained TO
make the size Of New York as uncxam-
pied as its growth.-The Epoch.

given slcight of hand performances at the
palace OF the queens father, the Arch

ing this 70 be fact he informed him that
her majesty would be glad 10 receive him
in private audience the next day. The
queen received him most kindly, and after
talking Of old times expressed wish TO
learn sleight Of hand. Professor Hermann
gladly consented TO teach her his tricks.
anu during the following four weeks he
spent daily several hours in initiating her
as an adept OF the black art.
OF course these lessons took place with
locked doors, the professor having made
point OF insisting that nobody else should
DC present besides his royal pupil and him
self The queen displayed a remarkable
talent in acquiring the art, and many
were the tricks which she subsequently
practiced on her family and attendants.
Professor Hermann, who died recently
leaving an enormous fortune, absolutely
refused to accept any remuneration for
his services; the queen, however, met the
difficulty by sending a magnificent bruce
